Batch Compressor

Batch Compressor is a lightweight Windows application designed specifically for helping you compress all files from a user-defined folder to RAR archives. It makes use of the WinRAR compression algorithm.

Simple looks

The utility adopts clean looks and embeds all configuration parameters in a single window. A help manual is not included in the package but the dedicated parameters are intuitive so you can set up the compression process on your own.

Compression capabilities

Batch Compressor doesn’t work with individual files but only with folders. You need to prepare the files that you want to compress in a user-defined directory.
Directories can be imported in the working environment using the drag-and-drop support (you cannot browse for directories in your computer).
You are given the freedom to pause or cancel the compression process, clear the working environment with a single click, and pick the compression algorithm (e.g. fast, normal, good, best).
Batch Compressor reveals information about the progress of each task and status, and keeps a log with details about all your actions and possible errors.
The application automatically processes the files included in a folder, saves the RAR archive to the same folder where the original items are stored, and deletes the source items.

Bottom line

All things considered, Batch Compressor delivers a simplistic software solution for helping you create RAR archives without investing too much time and effort into the entire process.
